e books being cheaper than paperbacks, and delivered instantly... to me it's a no brainer. I realise in the US paperbacks can qualify for free delivery but most other places in the world Amazon's delivery prices for physical items are mega expensive, although super fast (both my kindles arrived in under a week US to AUS).
Love the Charlie Brown analogy re guessing Amazon's sales etc, but if a lot are people like me who only use Amazon for books (now ebooks) it isn't hard to see ebooks taking over from real books on numbers.
